Reviews

I would have given this 5 stars except the installation guide did not have enough details for a heat pump system with aux heat...7 wires worth. Plus, an important jump reference in the guide was a few pages off. Had to call the 24-hr. 800 number to get into the system setup. They were VERY helpful; turned out one button had to be held down more than the guide indicated - about 15+ seconds rather than 5 seconds. The thermostat has worked flawlessly and we are pleased with the operation and options. Very satisfied with this versatile unit, and the low price, makes this is a very best buy!!!

This was easy to install and program. My old thermostat kept track of how long the A\C or heat ran each day, a feature I miss. The backlit light is perfect when and if you want to make a adjustment late at night. I like this product and recommend it.

I really like the size of the screen. It is easy to read. My old digital thermostat had a tiny screen. It was very hard to read. The Honeywell RTH7500D has a nice large screen that is easy to read and easy on the eyes. It was easy for me to install as I was replacing it with a similar digital thermostat. I'm very happy with the Honeywell RTH7500D. The only change I would have made is going to a touch screen which is more of my personal preference. Read all the directions first, before the install.

The product fulfilled all expectations. Now my house temperature is more constant and in the limits I have prescribed. It helped evening out the temperature between first and second floor. Only drawback is that the AC Compressor now starts more often than before, but I guess it is to be expected to better control temperature.

I have a simple system, no heat pump, so I decided I would install this unit myself. I had a few questions about wiring, and the helpline was indeed very helpful. The gentleman assured me I was doing everything right, and even told me how to program the unit for my specific needs as a Florida resident. I have programmed the unit for each day, and this unit's accuracy is spot on. I would recommend this unit for anyone who wants advanced features w/o needing a touch screen to program.
